SEEKING

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Ryan. I'm drum hobbyist and have been playing off and on for over 25 years. I am currently in a band, basically a rotating cast of musicians, and have been for nearly all those years. They have no interest playing gigs, but I do. So, I am looking for a group that needs a drummer and is currently gigging or has the intent to. I have played very little in public and I need the exposure. I practice daily and have the availability to practice with a band or gig any day of the week. I am up for almost any genre of music, but I do not play double bass or have any interest in playing strict jazz (although I love the genre). Check out my YT channel: @ryan.harvill
